First United Church and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

heavy hearts: And so, with heavy hearts, a group from First United Church in Waterloo cancelled its sponsorship of the Eletras family, according to The Waterloo Record. They were looking forward to greeting them. Then it became clear that the mother, father and five children weren't coming for the foreseeable future. They knew the parents had been farmers before unrest in Syria forced them into a Turkish refugee camp. But somehow in the rush to settle 25,000 Syrian refugees earlier this year, as promised last fall by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, this family got missed. The group had even written a letter of welcome to the family. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
